A Bioequivalence Study of the Fixed Dose Combination Tablets of Canagliflozin and Metformin Extended Release (XR) With Respect to the Individual Components in Healthy Fed Participants

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence (similarity of the drug amount in blood among the formulations) of the fixed dose combination (two components combined in one tablet) of canagliflozin and metformin extended release (XR) tablet (dose of 2 X 50 mg/1000 mg) with respect to the individual components of canagliflozin (1 x 100 mg) and metformin XR tablet (4 x 500 mg) in healthy fed participants.

Current Primary Outcome Measures
  • Plasma concentration of canagliflozin following the single dose of drug administration [Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 2 (predose, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 24 hours postdose); Day 3 (48 hour); and Day 4] [Designated as safety issue: No]Plasma concentrations of canagliflozin are used to evaluate how long canagliflozin stays in the body.
  • Plasma concentration of metformin following the single dose of drug administration [Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 2 (predose, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 24, and 30 hours postdose); and Day 3 (36 hours)] [Designated as safety issue: No]Plasma concentrations of metformin are used to evaluate how long it stays in the body.
Current Secondary Outcome MeasuresNumber of participants with adverse events as a measure of safety and tolerability [Time Frame: Up to Day 10 of the follow-up period] [Designated as safety issue: Yes]

Brief TitleA Bioequivalence Study of the Fixed Dose Combination Tablets of Canagliflozin and Metformin Extended Release (XR) With Respect to the Individual Components in Healthy Fed Participants
Official TitleA Single-Dose, Open-Label, Randomized, 3-Way Crossover Pivotal Study to Assess the Bioequivalence of the Fixed Dose Combination Tablets of Canagliflozin and Metformin Extended Release (XR) (2 x 50 mg/1,000 mg) With Respect to the Individual Components of Canagliflozin (1 x 100 mg) and Metformin XR Tablet (4 x 500 mg) in Healthy Fed Subjects
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence (similarity of the drug amount in
blood among the formulations) of the fixed dose combination (two components combined in one
tablet) of canagliflozin and metformin extended release (XR) tablet (dose of 2 X 50 mg/1000
mg) with respect to the individual components of canagliflozin (1 x 100 mg) and metformin XR
tablet (4 x 500 mg) in healthy fed participants.
Detailed Description
This is a randomized (the study medication is assigned by chance), open-label (physicians
and participants know the identity of the assigned treatment), single-center, single-dose,
3-treatment, 3-way crossover (the same medications provided to all participants but in
different sequence) study of Fixed Dose Combination (FDC) tablets of canagliflozin (CANA)
and metformin extended release (MET XR) in comparison with tablets of individual components.
Two Fixed Dose Combinations (FDCs) will be evaluated during the study (two types of
tablets). The tablets will be of the same strength (50 mg CANA/1,000 mg MET XR) and will be
compared with equal doses of the individual drugs: canagliflozin (1 x 100 mg tablet) and
metformin XR (4 x 500 mg tablets). Thus, there will be 3 treatment periods in the study:
Treatment A: "Reference" treatment of individual components. Treatment B: CANA/MET XR FDC,
formulation 1; and Treatment C: CANA/MET XR FDC, formulation 2. Approximately 42 healthy
adult participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatments groups, and then each
group will receive all three treatments in different sequences (3-way crossover). The study
will consist of 3 phases: a Screening Phase of approximately 3 weeks (Days -22 to -2), an
Open-Label Treatment Phase consisting of 3 single-dose Treatment Periods of 5 days each
(Days -1 through 4) separated by a washout of 10 to 14 days between Day 1 of each Treatment
Period, and a Follow-up Phase occurring 7 to 10 days after the last study-related procedure
on Day 4 of Treatment Period 3. The total duration of the study will be about 70 days for
each participant.
